Introduction: In carotid surgery, proper anatomical knowledge is essential to reduce surgical time and complications. The aim of the present study is to provide landmarks for the localization of the facial vein in respect of the carotid bifurcation and its anatomical characteristics. Materials and methods: 20 carotid triangles of formalin fixed adult cadavers were dissected. The following measurements were recorded. The “carotid axis” was defined and measured as the distance in cm following the longitudinal axis of the common and internal carotid artery from the clavicle to the upper edge of the posterior belly of the digastric (L1). Distance of the carotid bifurcation within the carotid axis (L2). Distance of the facial vein within the carotid axis (L3). Distance between the facial vein and the carotid bifurcation (L4). Also, we recorded the number of tributaries received by the facial vein and the exit site. Results: L1 mean 14 cm (range 9.6-15); L2 Mean 10.1 cm (range 7.5-12.5); L3 Average 8.6 cm (range 5-12.6). L4 Average 1.3 cm (0.2-3.1). Discussion: In most of the cases studied, the facial vein was found below the carotid bifurcation, however the distance between the two was 1.3cm on average, so we can say that they are close to each other. Conclusion: The proximity between the facial vein and the carotid bifurcation found in the present study allows us to conclude that the facial vein is potentially useful as an anatomical landmark to locate the carotid bifurcation in carotid surgery. Also, due to its proximity, the facial vein can be injured and thus lead to complications during this procedure. |

Introducción: En la cirugía de carótida, el conocimiento anatómico resulta fundamental para disminuir el tiempo quirúrgico y las complicaciones. El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar la disposición de la vena facial respecto a la bifurcación carotídea y sus características anatómicas. Materiales y Métodos: 20 hemicuellos de cadáveres adultos fijados en solución de formaldehído. Se registró: longitud del “eje carotideo” (distancia en cm siguiendo el eje longitudinal de la carótida común e interna desde la clavícula hasta el borde superior del vientre posterior del digástrico) (L1); distancia de la bifurcación carotídea en el eje carotídeo (L2); distancia de la vena facial en el eje carotídeo (L3); distancia de la vena facial a la bifurcación carotídea (L4); cantidad de afluentes que recibía la vena facial y sitio de desembocadura. Resultados: L1 promedio 14 cm (rango 9.6-15); L2 promedio 10.1 cm (rango 7.5-12.5); L3 promedio 8.6 cm (rango 5-12.6). L4 promedio 1.3 cm (0.2-3.1). Discusión: en la mayoría de casos estudiados la vena facial se encontró por debajo a la bifurcación carotidea, no obstante, la distancia entre ambos fue en promedio 1,3cm, por lo cual podemos afirmar que se encuentran en proximidad la una con la otra. Conclusión: la proximidad entre la vena facial y la bifurcación carotídea encontrada en el presente estudio permite concluir que la vena facial es potencialmente útil como reparo anatómico para localizar la bifurcación carotidea en cirugía de carótida. Así también por su proximidad, la vena facial puede verse lesionada y dar así a complicaciones durante dicho procedimiento.
